I haven't been too hungry for candy, got some tavener's licorice from um amazon or someplace. The full flavor comes out if you can chew them and they come fairly fresh which means softer. If I see or think of something I want badly enough, I don't care how it's packaged. I don't like most of it these days. Oh junior mints, the big mint patty, a couple other things if we could find them. Had a plain high-quality chocolate bar from my sister, tried to take a bite, too hard so handed it to my daughter. I could have let it dissolve but didn't seem worth it.
Yeah, if it's something I really like, wrapped or not, I eat way too many at a time.
Dang basketball again. I'm sick of those sportscasters and miss my regular shows. Always griping about something.
Its OK to complain. You have been through hell. And eating is something that we have to do every day. It sounds very frustrating. How come they burn the roof of your mouth? That sounds odd. Is it a chemical thing?
They sound like they are so much trouble that I might actually lose weight if I get dentures. It almost doesnt sound worth it, like you said about the chocolate. Although when I had my wisdom teeth removed as a child, I remember it was around Thanksgiving and I managed to eat a whole bunch of mixed nuts. I love those. Not much stops me from eating :-(
